    105 | How to Build a Consistent Journaling Practice (Even When You're Not Overwhelmed)

    Do you only pick up your journal when you’re overwhelmed or upset? I get it. As a highly sensitive introvert, it’s easy to see journaling as an “emotional emergency tool.” But when you only use it in crisis, you miss out on the calm and clarity it can bring to everyday life.  In this episode, I’m sharing why consistent journaling matters, simple ways to make it a habit, and what to write about when you’re not in the middle of big emotions.  You’ll also learn how looking back at calmer entries can help you build emotional awareness and resilience over time. If you’ve struggled with overthinking, emotional exhaustion, or inconsistent journaling, this episode will help you create a practice that feels supportive, peaceful, and sustainable, not like another thing on your to-do list.

    As a highly sensitive introvert, it’s easy to believe that controlling your emotions is the key to strength and peace. But here’s the truth: emotional control often leads to suppression, emotional exhaustion, and even bigger overwhelm down the road.  In this episode, I’m sharing why trying to control your emotions keeps you stuck, and how learning to regulate instead can help you feel calmer, more resilient, and more at ease in your daily life.  You’ll walk away with one simple reframe you can start using today to shift from control to regulation so you can build emotional awareness, reduce overthinking, and create more peace in your inner world.

    102 | “Feelings Aren’t Facts” Is Harmful! Here’s Why You Need to Listen to Your Emotions

    You’ve probably heard the phrase “feelings aren’t facts” before. Maybe from a therapist, a friend, or even in a moment when someone was trying to help you calm down. But if you’re a highly sensitive or introverted woman, that phrase can actually do more harm than good.  In this episode, I’m unpacking why dismissing your emotions leaves you doubting yourself and feeling disconnected, and how to reframe it in a way that honors your sensitivity.  You’ll learn why your emotions are valuable messengers, how to start listening to what they’re really telling you, and simple journaling prompts to help you process instead of pushing feelings away.  If you’ve ever felt invalidated or “too much” for your emotions, this conversation will help you see your feelings as wisdom—not weakness.

    101 | Ready to STOP Hiding Your Emotions? Try this Journaling Prompt

    Do you automatically hide how you feel, without even thinking about it? If saying “I’m fine” has become your reflex… even when you’re anything but fine, this episode is for you. As HSPs and introverts, many of us learned early on that being emotional wasn’t safe. So we got good at pushing it down, staying calm, and not making it a big deal. But over time, that survival strategy becomes an exhausting pattern of emotional suppression. In this episode, I’m unpacking why hiding emotions becomes second nature—and how to begin gently reversing the pattern. You’ll learn how to spot your emotional default settings, practice safe expression like journaling or voice notes, and give yourself permission to feel without fixing or explaining.

    Have you ever spiraled after something small? Like a text left unread or a weird tone in someone’s voice? As HSPs, it’s easy to confuse our thoughts, feelings, and facts, which only adds to the overwhelm.  In this episode, I’m walking you step by step through one of the most powerful tools I teach: how to separate what actually happened (facts), the story your mind creates (thoughts), and your emotional truth (feelings).  You’ll learn how to stop reacting to mental clutter, honor your emotions without letting them run the show, and start feeling more grounded. I’ll also share the coaching tool that helps my clients untangle their reactions so they can respond with clarity and confidence.
